24. Installation / Presettings

Read this manual thoroughly and carefully before installing and using your lawnmower.

IMPORTANT: The lawnmower is sold WITHOUT OIL OR FUEL. Your new lawnmower has been assembled and tested at the factory.

REMOVE ANY CARDBOARD PARTS FROM THE LAWNMOWER

Remove the device from the box and check the entire packaging thoroughly for loose parts.

IMPORTANT: For assembly steps 1-3, depending on the model, your lawnmower will be delivered entirely pre-assembled (assembly variant 1) or in two packages (assembly variant 2). We, therefore, ask you to consider two assembly variants in the following. Assembly step 4 is the same for all variants.

B A/1. 3. Body version 1

(46s models)

1. Remove the lawnmower from the packaging
2. Insert the lower spar (A) into the body and mount it laterally on the right and left with a screw.
3. Insert upper spar (B) and tighten with orange wing nut, then tighten screws + nuts on both sides.

Body version 2 (51s models)

1. Remove the lawnmower from the packaging
2. Remove the lower spar (B) from the accessory pack (or main pack) and screw it to the central unit (upper hole) with screws + nuts (2)
3. Screw upper spar (A) to mounted lower spar (B) using orange wing nuts + screws (1).

A B 1 2 FUXTEC®

IMPORTANT: on some models, the front wheels are removed to prevent damage to the axle during shipping. The wheels are simply screwed onto the axle with the nuts supplied.

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT

Raise the wheels for low cutting height and lower the wheels for high cutting height. Adjust the cutting height according to your needs centrally using the height adjustment handle (see illustration on page 2). The middle position is the most suitable position for most lawns.

FILL OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Before each subsequent use, check the oil level and, if necessary, top up with SAE30 engine oil. Refer to the table in Chapter 1 Product Specification for the filling quantity.

Technical diagram of a mechanical device with labeled components and an inset showing a magnified view of the component's tip.

Your lawnmower is delivered to you without 4-stroke oil.

ATTENTION: DO NOT overfill the engine with oil. It could lead to the smoke formation in the muffler when

starting.

1. Make sure that the lawnmower is level
2. Remove the dipstick from the oil filler tube
3. Insert the dipstick and pull it out slowly to check the oil level

IMPORTANT:

• Check the oil level before each use. Add oil if necessary. Fill up to the oil gauge on the dipstick.
• Change the oil every 25 working hours or every season. You will likely need to change the oil more often in dusty and dirty conditions. Refer to chapter 10 "Changing the oil."

Refuel with SUPER GASOLINE 95 octane (no mixture)

Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. Do not overfill the tank. Use fresh, clean unleaded fuel. Never mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to guarantee the freshness of the fuel.

Prolonged storage of the lawnmower will change the chemical composition of the gasoline, which can cause starting difficulties and unsteady running of the engine.

ATTENTION: Remove any oil or gasoline residue. Do not store, spill, or use gasoline near naked flames.

Technical line drawing of a robotic vacuum cleaner with a hand pouring liquid into it (no text or symbols)

ATTENTION: Fuels mixed with alcohol (called gasohol) or the use of ethanol or methane can attract moisture, causing separation and formation of acid during storage. Acidic gases can damage the engine's fuel system while the device is in storage. Drain the tank system if the device is stored for more than 30 days to avoid damage to the motor. Empty the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel line and carburetor are empty. Use fresh gasoline the next time you use the device. Never use engine or carburetor cleaning agents inside the fuel tank. This can lead to permanent damage.

25. Starting / stopping the engine

Start (except FX-RM5196eS next page)

Make sure that the engine is filled with sufficient oil and gasoline before you start it.

Pull the brake lever (upper lever) against the handle and pull the starter cable slightly until resistance is felt. Then pull the starter cable smoothly until the engine starts. On the 4646eco model, please press the primer pump 3-5 times before pulling the starter cable to fill the carburetor with gasoline.

NOTE:

Do not operate the wheel drive lever at the same time. Only when the engine has started, and you want to use the self-propulsion do you operate the lower lever.

Due to a protective layer on the engine, a slight smoke may be produced when you use the device for the first time. This is a standard procedure. Pull the brake lever towards the push handle. Do not let the pull starter snapback.

Stop

Release the brake lever to stop the motor.

WARNING: The blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is turned off. Unplug the spark plug connector when leaving the mower unattended.

MOWING INSTRUCTIONS

- In certain circumstances, such as high grass, it may be necessary to raise the cutting height to reduce the thrust and engine load, which can also lead to grass residue. It may also be required to reduce the basic speed and push the mower twice over this area

- Reduce the cutting width by covering the previous cut again to perform heavy cutting work

- The pores in the grass catcher bag can become clogged with dirt and dust, which means that the catcher can pick up fewer cuttings. To avoid this, you should regularly wash the catcher with a water hose and let it dry completely before reusing it.

- Keep the upper part of the engine around the starter free of grass and chopped grass clippings. This will improve engine airflow and prolong engine life.

Starting the FX-RM5196eS models

27. Maintenance and cleaning (EASY CLEAN)

IMPORTANT- regular, careful maintenance is necessary to ensure that the safety level and performance of the device remain unchanged.

1) Keep all nuts, screws, and bolts tightened to ensure that the device is in perfect working condition. Regular maintenance is necessary for the safety and performance of the device
2) Never store the device with the tank still full in a building where escaping vapors can reach a flame, spark, or heat source.
3) Let the engine cool down completely before storing the device in closed rooms.
4) Keep the engine, exhaust silencer, and fuel tank free of grass, leaves, or excess grease. Never leave containers with cuttings in rooms.
5) For safety reasons, do not use the device when parts are worn or damaged. Parts should be replaced. Repairing damaged parts is not sufficient. Use original spare parts. Parts that are not of the same quality can damage the device and endanger your safety.
6) If the fuel tank needs to be emptied, you should do this outdoors and with the engine cold.
7) Wear solid working gloves when removing or reattaching the blade.
8) Check that the blades are firmly and evenly seated after sharpening.
9) Regularly check the self-closing protective shield and grass catcher bag for wear and tear.
10) When operating, transporting, or tilting the device, please observe the following:
- Wear solid working gloves;
- Hold the device in places that provide a firm grip. Pay attention to weight distribution.

CLEANING (EASY CLEAN function)

Clean the device carefully with water after each cutting operation. Remove the grass and mud deposits that have accumulated inside the undercarriage. This will avoid drying out and possible difficulties when starting the engine again.

You can use the EASY CLEAN connection to clean the inner housing (cutting unit). Simply connect a water hose to the connection on the top of the housing and slowly turn on the water while the cutting mechanism is running. The rotation of the cutting mechanism distributes the water evenly in the inner housing and can thus flush away dirt residues.

The paint on the inner side of the undercarriage may flake off over time due to aggressive operations. In this case, you should paint over the paint with rust-resistant paint to protect the undercarriage from the corrosion of the metal.

Easy Clean connection

Check the V-belt 1-2 times a year and remove any cuttings from it.

Once a year, the drive wheels should be cleaned inside.

Remove both wheels. Use a brush or compressed air to remove grass and dirt from the gear wheel and gear rim.

28. Mow and Stow Function (FX-RM46BS475IS only)

With the Mow and Stow function, you can store your mower in a space-saving way after work is done. For this stowing, please proceed as follows:

WARNING: Avoid skin contact with the oil. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after changing the oil.

ATTENTION: Used oil is a hazardous waste product. We recommend that you take used oil to your local disposal center for proper disposal. Do not dispose of the device with household waste.

1. Switch off the engine and let it stop completely.
2. Disconnect the spark plug cable and keep it away from the spark plug.
3. Empty the oil into a suitable container. Tilt the lawnmower by 45 degrees and use a FUXTEC suction pump to suck off the oil through the filler neck. Alternatively, you can tilt the mower more to drain the oil through the filler neck.
4. Keep the engine balanced. Remove the dipstick. Slowly add approximately 0.5L of new recommended oil (FUXTEC 4MAX 4 stroke oil) into the container until the dipstick reads the top of the container. Do not overfill the container.
5. Check the level with the dipstick

Spark plug

Remove the spark plug and clean it with a wire brush after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.75 mm (0.030"). Replace the spark plug, and be careful not to overtighten it.

Emptying the fuel tank and carburetor

Option A (Recommended):

Use a FUXTEC suction pump to suck the gasoline out of the tank or let the mower run empty.

Option B:

1. Place a manufacturer's recommended gasoline canister under the carburetor and use a funnel to avoid spills. Tilt the lawnmower forward to prevent spillage.
2. Loosen the drain plug (GREEN in the illustration) and drain the gasoline through a funnel.
3. Tighten the drain plug after all gasoline has drained into the canister. Fasten the drain plug securely.
